Summer Adventure 2016 scholars celebrated Health and Safety week with a visit by Chicago Firemen and practicing safe evacuation in case of a fire in the safety evacuation van; created safety and healthy eating art!

All of the Head Start classrooms had a blast when Officer Donovan of the Chicago Police Department came for a visit. Officer Donovan read to the scholars, answered all of their questions and made sure they each knew that the emergency number was 9-1-1!
